Sir Henry’s in
the ‘90’s… Were you there?

Its the Summer
of 1988 and Cork's emigration generation are following the beat... in perfect
time for a new night starting at Sir Henry’s nightclub: SWEAT. Ten years ago
the spiritual home of Cork’s first generation of House music fanatics closed
forever. Following its sell-out premiere at the Cork Midsummer Festival, this
new show from Raymond Scannell, exploring the social backdrop of the time,
marks the occasion.

DEEP follows the
life of Larry Lehane, chasing the footsteps of his brother Danny, at the cusp
of a new era for music. Turning the tables on two decades, from the rise of
Acid House to the Euro changeover, we see, through Larry’s smiley-face, the
evolution of Cork’s underground, of the city, as the beats rise and fall.

Featuring
documentary interviews of the club’s main figures and footage of nights at the
club, this is the story of an era; the rants and raves of a Vinyl Junkie who,
at 35, has lived through the peaks and troughs of the last twenty years, and is
still keeping time, 4 to the floor.

Raymond’s
previous solo performance Mimic premiered at the 2007 Cork Midsummer Festival
and has toured the world. Most recently, he composed the music for
thisispopbaby’s musical Alice in Funderland at the Abbey Theatre. Raymond is part of Six in the Attic, an Irish Theatre
Institute resource sharing initiative. DEEP is supported by the Arts Council /
Chomhairle Ealíon.
